The federal government has allocated over $1.4 billion in funding through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program to support more than 290,000 individuals with HIV who have low incomes. This funding will help cover costs for HIV medication, co-pays, and premiums for health insurance. The program has seen an increase in virally suppressed patients, with 89.6% being virally suppressed as of 2022. The program aims to ensure that everyone living with HIV has access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) to lead a long and healthy life. This funding will contribute to improving health outcomes, reducing HIV transmission, and saving lives.
